Stereolab Album

I'm sad to see
that you are sad

I'm sad to see
that you are sad
but there's nothing to
be sad about
really nothing to feel bad about

there she was
standing peacefully
sending the
message through
telepathy
way beyond the
speculation
furthest away from
any condition
here to pacify
connected to joy

Quelque chose
d'inexistant fait
apparaître un fantôme
assez fort pour
jeter les vrais lions
dans le trou

Dans un nuage enfumé
J'ai bien envie de m'éloigner
quand le monstre des mers titille,
me fait marcher sur un fil
c'est moi qui le crée de toute pièce,
il m'engloutit dans une mer sonore,
qui me crachera violemment,
contre un mur tout fait de poussière

en des recoins, des abords sombres
ce qui sort du coeur de cette ombre,
des tortionaires, des vains démons
qui dans une ronde sinistre,
créent des dangers, créent des risques

c'est comme une course enivrante
qui cultive la peur et la crainte
je me retourne les bras ouverts

sometimes it is half full
or sometimes half empty
for some it is theory
but for who is concerned it's truly a pity,
a pity

Under the ocean night of deep sorrows
and quietly he misses you
the harm is visible in the water and
ingested, how will it show later?

In the water, our child suffers
by your absence, he suffers

The pimp's going round extinguishing the flame
Digging the tranches in which to bury hearts
The dim and cold climate of awareness
Where the reptiles thrive and people are made to walk the streets

This heat, the purpose, in my heart, generates, infinite, energy there's nothing to worry, share the immensity

He went round switching the people's hearts off, promising to deal with reality
we bought it, because everything seemed more bearable than immensity

Je la monte laborieusement,
toujours vers le haut
elle est lourde, ces matériaux,
cette pierre est un fardeau

elle pourrait être construction
utilisée pour une maison
je la hisse jusqu'au sommet,
redescendre, laisser venir.

Le message est toujours le
même il faut observer les
lois de la gravité

The pimp's going round extinguishing the flame
Digging the tranches in which to bury hearts
The dim and cold climate of awareness
Where the reptiles thrive and people are made to walk the streets

This heat, the purpose, in my heart, generates, infinite, energy there's nothing to worry, share the immensity

He went round switching the people's heart's off, promising to deal with reality
we bought it, because everything seemed more bearable than immensity

[No lyrics]

From which everything comes
the minimum and the maximum
represent universe in the most
distinguishable way

concentrate, internal side,
which make of a being
a substance and not
a phenomenon,
concentrate

to go from the external
to internal
from the composed to
the simple

perception, appetition
constitute,
action of the very souls
the action, perception

what can be conceived as the
most remote manifestation
of things to be
it is what contains last of
all reasons,
current existence, reality

toujours éclairé, de
l'interieur par la lumiere de
la colere et de
l'amour
cité des restrictions pour
ceux qui ne sont pas tolérés,
des lumieres
pour d'autres
Paris d'la colonisation, de la
décolonisation

Il n'y a aucun monument
pour les algériens, pour-quoi,
toujours les
conquetes
et porquoi ne pas honorer
ceux a qui l'on a fait du mal

Elegance sans fard, est plus rare,
elegance sans fard est plus recherchee, coute plus cher

les rouges a levres, fards a paupieres, feux d'artifice, mille paillettes

To some reality appears normal,
To me it seems vested with an important light,
Particular, a light
Sacred, a light

To address this universe,
With nobility, emotions,
As long as man will exploit man
As long as humanity will
Split between masters and servants
As long as man will exploit man
Split between masters and servants,
There will be no normality and no peace.

clap clap clap clap all will join in
tap tap tap tap simple rhythm
on the drum, develop, into complex intermingling orchestral rhythm, tap

snap snap snap snap with your fingers
off beat on time make it linger
enriching the rhythm do away with scepticism
come and join the hymn, tap

sensing the symbiotic forces

Relégues, dispensés,
Ceux qui veulent prendre tout simplement,
Leur destin, dans leurs mains
Les forts,
Les faibles,
Parceqi'lls en ont le désir ains que la force

Leur destin, dans leurs mains
Les forts,
Les faibles,

Les forts,
Les faibles,
Parceqi'lls en ont le désir ains que la force
